TheConservative Party (Portuguese:Partido Conservador) was a Brazilian political party of the imperial period, which was formed c. 1836 and ended with the proclamation of the Republic in 1889. This party arose mostly from a dissident wing of theModerate Party (Partido Moderado) and from some of the members of theRestorationist Party (Partido Restaurador) in the 1830s when it became known as the Reactionary Party (Partido Regressista). In the early 1840s it called itself the Party of Order (Partido de Ordem) to distinguish itself from the liberal opposition, which they accused of disorder and anarchy, and both the party members and its leadership were known as "saquaremas" after the village ofSaquarema, where the leadership had plantations and support.[14] In the mid-1850s, it was finally known as the Conservative Party.
